2. Discussions to have in the classroom Some topics dealing with the internet and computer that will need to be addressed are: Cyber-bullying Proper netiquette in emails The effects of SPAM and viruses When the student becomes more aware of these situations and concerns, they will be more likely to respect them.

A classroom application is allowed “fair” use not “unlimited” use Display proper technology etiquette. If asking for an assignment to use technology, make sure the students have access to technology at home or give time in class to complete it.
